A View Within is an art quilt exhibit currently on display at the Ruth Funk Center for Textile Arts, in Melbourne, FL. It features the work of Paula Chung and Karen Rips. Paula likes to interpret MRIs and other medical images in her work. Karen has riffed off the same images and ideas but in her own unique way. It’s interesting to see two different interpretations of the same subject.
This is Mary III, by Paula Chung. Can you see the purple jaw and the yellow teeth?
Her pieces are VERY heavily machine stitched. Amazing, right?
Karen, on the other hand, took an entirely different approach to the subject with her piece Teeth. If you look closely, you’ll see the vertical stitched teeth shapes.
When Paula depicted an MRI of the head and neck in neutral colors, Karen created this piece, Road Trip.
The close up view is amazing, because the entire piece is heavily puckered into rows and rows. It’s a very interesting and appealing texture.
These are just a few of the images from this exhibit. It will be on display, along with the Radical Elements exhibit through August 27th.
